Global Info Analytics has released new polling data revealing that Minister of Education Haruna Iddrisu is currently leading the race to become the National Democratic Congress (NDC) flagbearer.
According to the survey, Iddrisu commands 30% support, followed by NDC National Chairman Johnson Asiedu Nketia with 24%. Finance Minister Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson secures 18%, while Chief of Staff Julius Debrah trails with 10%. Minister of Foreign Affairs Samuel Okudjeto Ablakwa has 8%, Agric Minister Eric Opoku, Joshua Alabi, Armah Kofi-Buah, and Kwame Awuah-Darko each have 2%, Spio Garbrah 1%, and Okoe Vanderpuye with less than 1%.
The poll also explored alternative scenarios. In a three-horse race without Ato Forson, Haruna Iddrisu’s support jumps to 45%, with Asiedu Nketia at 37% and Julius Debrah at 18%. Among NDC voters, Iddrisu garners 47%, Asiedu Nketia 39%, and Debrah 14%, while in swing regions, Iddrisu leads with 48% to Asiedu Nketia’s 37% and Debrah’s 15%.
Conversely, if Haruna Iddrisu is not in the running, the race becomes a close contest between Asiedu Nketia (40%) and Ato Forson (38%), with Julius Debrah at 22%. Among NDC voters, Asiedu Nketia and Ato Forson are nearly tied at 42% and 41% respectively, with Debrah at 17%. In the swing regions, Ato Forson takes the lead with 47%, followed by Asiedu Nketia at 38% and Debrah at 15%.
The results highlight intense competition within the NDC, with shifting dynamics depending on the lineup of candidate.
Former Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has surged ahead in the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) presidential primaries, according to the latest poll by Global Info Analytics. The poll, published on Monday, September 29, shows Dr. Bawumia commanding 47 percent of delegate support, positioning him as the clear front-runner in the party’s internal contest.
Despite his commanding lead, the survey also revealed that a significant portion of delegates remain undecided, leaving room for shifts as the primaries approach. Businessman and former Assin Central legislator Kennedy Agyapong is Dr. Bawumia’s closest challenger, but the data indicates he has yet to fully capitalise on any dip in Dr. Bawumia’s support.
Analysts suggest that unless Mr. Agyapong can sway the undecided delegates to his camp, Dr. Bawumia’s advantage will be difficult to overturn. The poll highlights both Dr. Bawumia’s strong showing and the fluid nature of the race, as delegates continue to weigh their options.
With the NPP’s flagbearer contest set to play a pivotal role in the party’s strategy for the 2028 general election, political observers believe the outcome will be crucial in determining the governing party’s strength heading into the national polls.
